LONDON — Designer Jenny Packham is best known for her bridal gowns, red carpet sparklers and demure, printed or embellished dresses worn by the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge, but on the rocky terrain of British fashion — where so many companies struggle to survive — she’s also a member of an elite society of long-standing brands.
Her 30-year-old business, which she runs with her husband Mathew Anderson, is independent, profitable and makes its money from clothing — with the business split 50/50 between the eveningwear and bridal collections. She has a healthy wholesale business, a flagship on Mount Street here, and in July opened her first store in China at the Beijing Peninsula Hotel, a 153-square-foot space that carries her bridalwear.
Packham has always stuck to what she does best, and her clients — Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift, Adele, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie and Kerry Washington — keep coming back for more. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a Packham dress each time she appeared outside St. Mary’s Hospital for her photo op after giving birth.
On the opposite pole of the celebrity spectrum, Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones was also a big fan, with the stylist Patricia

No one needs to be reminded that life moves fast. This summer celebrity engagements do, too. Three much-photographed couples didn’t need much time to reveal they plan to marry.
Last month, Ariana Grande got a jump on the trend when she first flashed her engagement ring from Pete Davidson on Instagram. The pair only needed a few weeks to decide they were headed to happily-ever-after hood. Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber are also on board with the trend, as her estimated $ 500,000 rock makes clear. Although they met in 2009, their recent this-is-it courtship was said to be a monthlong affair. And Baldwin reportedly bought Bieber an engagement ring at Pristine Jewelers in Manhattan’s diamond district. Given Baldwin’s influencer reach, more twentysomethings may start buying engagement rings for their soon-to-be spouses, too.
Today brought mention of the latest pair reported to take the fast route — musician Nick Jonas and actress Priyanka Chopra. Both have tried their hand at modeling — John Varvatos for him and Manish Malhotra for her. Chopra is planning to publish her memoir “Unfinished” next year.
It is safe to say that each of the three newly engaged couple will blast past the $ 20,000 average wedding budget, given their

NEW YORK — Expect to see Armie Hammer sporting a black-and-white hopsack sport coat on a red carpet sometime soon.
The jacket is part of a collaboration between celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinati and the Little Rock, Ark.-based Strong Suit that will be launching for spring.
The pair was introduced around two years ago by actress Cameron Richardson, and the result of that meeting will be a collection of men’s suits, sport coats and dress shirts under the Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati label that will launch at Nordstrom’s new men’s store slated to open in New York in April. The collection will also be carried at the retailer’s Los Angeles store at The Grove.
“Ilaria is genuinely looking for the best style for her clients,” said Jamie Davidson, founder and creative director of Strong Suit, which was purchased one year ago by Oxford Industries. “She cares about the substance of the clothes, not the branding. So I’m incredibly grateful that she decided to work with a little start-up from Little Rock.”
The negotiations with Nordstrom, which carries Strong Suit’s regular men’s collection at several stores, started over a year ago. But once they saw the collection, “they were totally on board with it,” he said.

New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio won a second term a few weeks ago — despite, as it turns out, having some pretty famous competition.

A list of all the people who received votes in the 2017 N.Y.C. mayoral election was released by the city’s Board of Elections on Wednesday, and it has a few familiar names on it. Quite a few, in fact: Though there was a lighter turnout for this year’s mayoral election than in years past, TheNew York Times reported that there were more write-in votes than ever.

And it turns out there are a lot of big names that New Yorkers would like to see move into Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence.

DeBlasio’s predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, was the most popular write-in candidate, nabbing almost 1,000 votes. Hillary Clinton was a popular write-in candidate, too, receiving 240 votes city-wide. Barack Obama got a few votes, as well. So did Michelle Obama. And the other famous names?

In the second of two bicoastal panels organized by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and The Wall Group, celebrity stylists Elizabeth Stewart, Karla Welch and Ilaria Urbinati convened at the W Hollywood in Los Angeles on Monday for the panel “Today’s Image Makers: The Relationship Between Stylist and Designer.”
Moderated by Melissa Magsaysay, the panel explored the changing role of the celebrity stylist, and how they work with myriad designers hoping to get their clothes and accessories on stars on the red carpet.
“We’re really like mini magazines now,” said Stewart, who started her career as a fashion editor at Fairchild Publications and The New York Times. “My assistants do what a market editor would do at a magazine, and we are creating content when we create looks for our clients.”
What used to be a behind-the-scenes job has morphed into one where the stylist, via social media, shares behind-the-curtain glimpses of readying clients for the red carpet, as well as his or her point of view on everything from fashion to politics.
“Would you ever dress Melania Trump?” asked one person in the audience. “No. Absolutely not,” said Welch and Stewart. “She buys her own clothes,” said Stewart.

Reebok spent a year courting Future.
The relationship began in 2015 when the company started seeding the artist, whose real name is Nayvadius Wilburn, with shoes to wear. Then the team began attending his shows, inviting him to Reebok’s headquarters in Massachusetts and detailing how both parties could help each other.
“They made an effort to connect with him,” said Ebonie Ward, Future’s brand manager. “It wasn’t about sending e-mails. They told him they didn’t want to take advantage of him as an artist and use his fan base. They wanted to build a partnership with him. That’s what sealed the deal with Future. It wasn’t about him throwing on a pair of shoes and thinking people are going to just buy them.”
Athletic companies tapping celebrities, specifically hip-hop artists, isn’t a new concept. In fact, 14 years ago, Reebok offered Jay-Z a deal — the first of its kind — that led to the commercially successful S. Carter sneakers, which, when released, were one of the brand’s best-selling products. But the structure of today’s deals, and the climate around them, has evolved and Future’s relationship with Reebok reflects how the market has shifted.
Future signed with Reebok in 2016 and has played a

Look, we get it. Recreating a celebrity’s likeness in wax, or any material (aren’t some of them 70 percent wax already?), is hard. But it shouldn’t be this hard, should it? See 11 times that wax sculptors missed the mark, from Ryan Gosling, to Justin Timberlake, to Beyoncé, Beyoncé, and well, Beyoncé.

Hollywood is full of multi-hyphenates — singers who can act, actors who can sing, reality stars who can build makeup empires — but with so many stars constantly releasing new projects, it can be hard to keep up with every single that gets released.

Let us all take a moment then to remember these genuine jams from years past …

“RUMORS” BY LINDSAY LOHAN

Ahhh, 2004. A simpler time, when the greatest issue of our day was the great Lindsay vs. Hilary feud and all anyone ever wanted was to dance the night away to this jam about the struggles of being super famous. (Yes, this was our AIM away message for months, please don’t judge us.)

“SHE SAID” BY BRIE LARSON

Now, we envy Larson’s talent and friendship with Emma Stone; in 2005, we envied her messy rock and roll haircut and her ability to wear 9000 accessories at once with aplomb.

“JAM (TURN IT UP)” BY KIM KARDASHIAN

While Kardashian has cited her brief foray into pop stardom as one of her biggest regrets, we will forever and always defend “Jam”‘s status as a great, underrated, well, jam. Plus, Kanye West was on set when she filmed the video, so it was clearly approved by a true creative genius.

“IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU SLEEP” BY DEAD MAN’S BONES (RYAN GOSLING)

Pre-La La Land, Gosling rocked his best three-piece suit and showed off his piano prowess for his band, Dead Man’s Bones, who released a haunting album in 2009. And we do mean haunting — most of the songs were creepy, Halloween-esque love songs about zombies.

“STARS ARE BLIND” BY PARIS HILTON

In the grand, epic pantheon of reality stars who released singles, one stands above all others: “Stars Are Blind,” which we still plan on blasting at all of our pool parties this summer.

“SUPERFICIAL” BY HEIDI MONTAG

This video is basically 2010 in a nutshell, and we’re kind of obsessed with it. Also, we maintain that Spencer Pratt should appear in more music videos.

“SHAKE YA BODY” BY TYRA BANKS

If we’re being totally honest, we remember the episode of America’s Next Top Model where they filmed the video for this with more clarity than we remember the lyrics, but we could never, ever forget Tyra’s abs.

“CALL IT WHATEVER” BY BELLA THORNE

If cotton candy and bubblegum somehow managed to have a musical baby, it would be this song.

“PAPA DON’T PREACH” BY KELLY OSBOURNE

She may not have decided to keep pursuing music, but Kelly Osbourne has truly always been hair goals for the boldest and brightest among us.

“ABOUT YOU NOW” BY MIRANDA COSGROVE

Anyone else having flashbacks to watching TeenNick marathons on Saturday afternoons and dancing to this song during the commercial breaks? No? Just us, then.

“FALLING DOWN” BY SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Leave it to ScarJo to skip the typical pop star path in favor of releasing a moody, acoustic album of folk songs that featured David Bowie on backing vocals.

“LOVE AND TEARS” BY NAOMI CAMPBELL

Everything Naomi Campbell does is fiercer than we could ever imagine, and that includes this music video.

As Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West consider a surrogate pregnancy, a woman who has been a surrogate says the journey to match any parent or parents with a woman who will carry a child and then give it up to them is filled with emotion on both sides.

“I hoped for everything I got,” two-time surrogate Dayna, 37, a stay-at-home Pennsylvania mom, tells PEOPLE, which is withholding her last name. “I didn’t want it to be a business transaction. I didn’t want it to feel like that.”

“It was never about money,” she says. “I wanted it to be personal. I wanted to get enjoyment like I did out of it. I was giving someone something that potentially they couldn’t get without someone like us.”

In April, Dayna delivered the second of two children that she carried for parents Jonathan Rollo and Joey Gonzalez, through a match overseen by the California-based agency Growing Generations. The couple welcomed a daughter, Francesca, now 18 months old, in December 2015; their son, Jake, is two months old. Both were conceived using anonymous donor eggs selected from a catalogue listing and then fertilized by the men and implanted in Dayna’s uterus.

“I personally didn’t feel any separation process,” Dayna says of the time after Francesca was born. “There was no grief, there was no mourning, there was no sadness. It was a pretty amazing feeling, just to see Jon’s and Joey’s faces when she was born, and them holding her for the first time. They were literally just glowing.”

17Kardashian West and her husband are already parents to 4-year-old daughter North and 18-month-old son Saint. But in planning for a third child, they recently hired a surrogate, PEOPLE confirms. Doctors had cautioned Kardashian West that another pregnancy would be risky because she suffers from a condition, placenta accreta, that causes the placenta to grow into the wall of the womb, thus making it hard to detach at the time of birth.

The 36-year-old reality star underwent a procedure to try and correct the condition. But she told her mother, Kris Jenner, on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, “I’ve come to the conclusion in my mind that I can’t carry another one. So now I want to explore surrogacy.”

Dayna, a mother of five children ages 7 to 20, decided to become a surrogate after a long consideration that involved her husband and their family; the couple welcomed two biological children and parented several foster children, adopting three, before choosing not to have any more.

But after seeing “so many people out there in need and just having that want and desire for their own biological children,” Dayna says she viewed surrogacy as her way to contribute further. “My pregnancies have always been easy,” she says. “After doing tons of research, it just felt right. It felt like something I wanted to do.”

Before going forward, she also allowed her kids a vote. “Is this going to be okay?” she asked. “This is not going to be your sibling at all. I’m just going to carry a baby for someone who can’t carry a baby.”

Their response? “They were all on board.”

A friend of hers had been a surrogate through Growing Generations, and Dayna reached out to the company, which does not advertise for surrogates but accepts online applications. Just 10 percent meet initial qualifications; only 1 or 2 percent of those advance for final consideration in a review that includes background checks, medical tests, and psychological evaluations. Among questions posed: Are you willing to work with single parents? Gay parents? Interracial couples?

“It was multiple applications,” says Dayna. “At that point, they pretty much interviewed you: Why do you want to become a surrogate? What do you hope to get out of it? Have you talked to your family about it? They do have a lot of requirements, which I feel are necessary.”

Founded in 1996, Growing Generations has overseen more than 1,500 births delivered via 1,200 surrogates, says Stuart Bell, the agency’s co-founder. Its client base is divided evenly between U.S. and international parents. Ninety percent of them are couples, and 60 percent of them are gay. (The agency is not working with Kardashian West.)

“Twenty years ago, infertility was such a cross to bear,” Bell told PEOPLE in 2015. “There was kind of this shame around ‘I can’t have a baby.’” Although surrogacy and surrogate contracts still generate legal and political debate in parts of the country, “they’re starting to understand that it’s not harming anyone involved,” Bell says. “This is something that’s building families in a positive way.”

It’s also costly. For a person or couple opting to use their own egg, Growing Generations tells them to budget $ 120,000 to $ 140,000 for the process; if a donor egg is used, the expense can climb to $ 150,000 to $ 200,000.

Costs include the egg donor fee of $ 15,000 to $ 16,000; the surrogate fee of around $ 35,000; the expense to create and implant embryos; allowances for the surrogate’s maternity clothing, travel and medical monitoring; and legal and insurance fees, all on top of the agency’s matching fees.

“When you say you’re going to be a surrogate, the first thing anybody asks is, how much money are you making?” says Dayna. Growing Generations ensures that surrogates are financially secure before taking on the responsibility, she adds. “The money is not worth what you’re putting your body through. You really need to be honest with yourself. This is something that you want to do for the right reasons.”

Once approved, Dayna received a packet with information about Gonzalez and Rollo — not detailed, but with photos, ages, how long they’d been together, and images showing them with family and friends.

Then she and her husband had a preliminary meeting over lunch with Gonzalez, the CEO of Barry’s Bootcamp, an international fitness boutique concept, and Rollo, a chef, owner and founder of Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop, a chain of organic restaurants.

“We wanted somebody who has been through childbirth,” Gonzalez told PEOPLE, which earlier profiled the couple and their surrogacy process. “Our preference was for someone who has been through it more than once, psychologically secure, who could go through this process of separating from a child. That’s obviously not an easy thing to do. We both wanted somebody incredibly maternal, somebody that we thought respected the process.”

“When they presented Dayna,” he says, “it was the best-case scenario. She’s the most maternal person I’ve ever met. She’s just an exceptionally sweet, loving person. You can tell that family is a huge priority for her.”

Twenty-four hours after that meeting, each side sent word to the other through the agency: They agreed it was a match.

The two men and Dayna kept in constant touch through that first pregnancy via texts, calls and occasional in-person visits. Gonzalez and Rollo always talked of having more than one child. As they gathered for the first induced delivery and drove with Dayna to the hospital, “We were actually talking about the second one already,” Dayna recalls with a laugh. “I remember Joey’s mom saying, ‘Can we just have this one first?’”

“I planned on the first time being only a one-and-done thing, but the relationship I had with the guys, I knew instantly I would never be a surrogate for multiple families,” she says. After three months of pumping breast milk for Francesca, then freezing and shipping it overnight to Gonzalez and Rollo in California, she allowed her body to rest for a few months before starting the process for the second child. The dads were present at both births.

Today, “ loves seeing pictures of our babies, as much as we love hearing stories about her kids,” Gonzalez writes in an email. “Even if weeks go by without hearing from her, it’s easy to pick up where we left off. Sharing something this deep bonds people for life.”

“Honestly, there is no way to have assurance the surrogate will do things your way,” he says. “Which is why the process is so important. Be honest with each other about what matters most, and have trust that she will honor and respect that.”

He adds: “Don’t stress out if the first few meetings are awkward — it’s not the most natural relationship on earth and takes time to develop.”

But even as she values that relationship, Dayna says she’s not decided whether to be a surrogate again.

“I’m not getting any younger,” she jokes. “This one just really took a lot out of me. And I’ve got to think about my own kids. We hike a lot, we camp a lot; it’s hard to do those things when you’re pregnant.”

She does know, however, she has lifelong friends in the men whose family she helped to grow.

“I think the more you’re involved, the more you know what’s going on with the pregnancy, the more you can relate,” she advises those who may be considering using a surrogate. “You hope there are check-in points that they’re interested in, like, ‘What was the baby’s heart rate at the doctor’s today?’ because that just builds the excitement.”

“They don’t have to keep in touch,” she says of the two sides of the transaction. “Once they have that child, that can potentially be the end of the relationship, and I don’t think a lot of people prepare themselves for that. You need to prepare.”

She heard all throughout her process about how awful things can be between parents and their surrogates. But she, Gonzalez and Rollo all praise their match.

“I’m told all the time that we have a special relationship,” she says. “So I’m thankful very much for that.”

“I got everything that I wanted, and possibly more, when I went into this. To see the pictures of the guys with Jake and Francesca, and them living their lives, and all their pictures that they share, it’s amazing,” she says. “I helped create that.”

Casey started parodying celebrities’ glamorous photo shoots and paparazzi photos several years ago. “I kept looking at pictures of celebrities in magazines and thinking how funny it would be to compare a normal mom versus a celebrity mom or a mother featured in a magazine,” she told The Huffington Post.

“For example, after Jennifer Lopez had her twins, she was featured in an InStyle Magazine photo spread wearing a ball gown holding her newborns,” she added. “After I had my newborn, I was wearing mesh underwear and lounge pants. Nicole Richie was photographed with her new son in an Oscar dress pushing an antique style stroller. Normal moms wear yoga pants and push a Snap-N-Go. New moms forget to brush their hair, let alone get spray tanned and have fake eyelashes.”

Casey posts her side-by-side photos on Instagram, where she has attracted over 10,000 followers. In her hilarious captions, she often ends with “same, right,” which has evolved into the hashtag #sameright.

The mom said she’s started getting requests from friends and fans when they come across a particularly wacky photo. She also credits her friends for helping her bring the parodies to life by lending clothes, snapping the photos, and even placing her in difficult positions.

Casey’s series is reminiscent of Australian mom and comedian Celeste Barber’s celebrity photo recreations. Though Casey says she’d been posting her photos for awhile before she saw Barber’s, she thinks the Aussie mom’s work is great. “Who doesn’t enjoy a fun photo parody?” she added.

Ultimately, Casey’s goal is to make fellow parents laugh amid of the chaos and stress of their lives.

“It’s easy to compare yourself to a glamorous celebrity,” she said. “What’s happened to my face? These kids have destroyed my once bikini ready body. I can sort of remember what it was like to have thick and glossy hair. These pictures just highlight that it’s okay to laugh at yourself and the absurdity of airbrushed and staged photos.”

The countdown to 2017 has officially begun and many of you are looking to throw a festive and fabulous party to ring in the new year. Today, Celebrity planner, Patrizia Cilli, is sharing her top tips for hosting an unforgettable soiree. Cilli is the founder of The Wedding Excellence and has planned events for Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Prince Charles and other high-profile clients. She has just partnered with The Hurawalhi Resort in The Maldives where she is offering 5-star luxury events to destination brides.

Consider guest dynamics. A good party has a great vibe and that requires an interesting (but compatible) mix of guests with enough in common to get along and different enough to keep the conversations colorful. Be sure to introduce your guests to one another, including a fun tidbit about each of them.

Give a warm welcome. There is nothing more blasé than walking into a party and wondering where the host is. Have someone designated to help you greet guests at the door. Take their coat and offer them a beverage from a tray of champagne (or a signature cocktail) and sparkling water nearby. Warm canapes are also lovely to have on-hand.

Set the tone immediately. Stunning decor and details that delight the senses are both essential when it comes to hosting a fabulous New Year’s Eve soiree. Light candles, have a great playlist that builds up through the night (not too loud!) and create a luxurious ambiance with a classic scent such as Baies Limited Edition Deluxe Holiday Candle by Diptyque.

Sit down meals require a table plan. Ideally, you can sit guests next to one person they know and one stranger.

Have a varied menu. Ask guests about any allergies or dislikes when they are invited and have a wide variety of options- vegetarian, gluten-free and offer mocktails for those who don’t drink or don’t want to drink too much.

Beautify the Bathroom. A lovely scented candle, flowers, and a small basket with guest essentials such as mints, mouthwash, deodorant, hairspray, feminine products, and wipes can go a long way to make guests feel comfortable.

Prepare a sparkling toast. Have glasses poured and ready and say a few words before midnight. Countdown to the new year with guests and let the party begin.

A few things to consider:

Taxi’s and Uber’s can be difficult to get on this night. You might want to remind guests to schedule them beforehand or offer up nearby hotel suggestions.
Alcohol typically makes people hungry. Food is also a great way to absorb excess champagne. Consider offering bite-sized breakfast items if the party runs past 2:00 AM

Buying a small coat rack and extra hangers is essential. It’s much nicer than piling coats and bags on a bed.

As 2016 draws to a close, revelers around the world are bidding a weary adieu to a year filled with political surprises, prolonged conflicts and deaths of legendary celebrities. How people are ushering …

Donald Trump is calling “fake news” on CNN’s report that he is staying on as the executive producer of “The New Celebrity Apprentice” — even though the creator of the series confirmed the information and Trump’s own spokeswoman suggested he would stay.

Kellyanne Conway said in an on-air CNN interview Friday that if lawyers give Trump the go-ahead, “then he’s probably going to say, why not’ remain as a producer of the popular reality TV franchise.

As the for expected extra work involved, Conway denied it would detract from Trump’s job as president, comparing the time to the amount President Barack Obama spends golfing. “Presidents have a right to do things in their spare time,” Conway said.

A representative for MGM, the studio that produces the program for NBC, told Variety on Thursday that Trump will continue to be credited as an executive producer. MGM refused to discuss Trump’s fees, but they could be in the “six figures,” Variety reported. Trump hosted the popular “Apprentice” series for more than a decade before his presidential campaign.

But following surprised reactions and renewed concerns about potential conflicts of interest ― with even Newt Gingrich calling such a dual role “weird” ― Trump is now insisting that he won’t spend any time on the job. He lashed out against CNN in a tweet Saturday, calling its report “fake news” and “ridiculous,” which he initially misspelled as “rediculous.”

He conceded in another tweet that he has a “big stake” in the program but insisted that he will devote “zero time” to it.

I have NOTHING to do with The Apprentice except for fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big stake in it. Will devote ZERO TIME!

A continued “big stake” alone worries critics concerned about a conflict of interest. It would pose challenges to a president expected to make impartial decisions about media and entertainment legislation or choices that could affect companies that are buying ads on a program he’s profiting from. Trident gum, Welch’s and Carnival Cruise Line have signed on as sponsors of the show, according to NBC.

The relationship poses problems for NBC as well. Its news division covers the president-elect and the network is home to “Saturday Night Live,” which has heavily criticized Trump.

The New York Times reported Friday that Trump Productions, the Trump company that “associates with ‘The Apprentice,’” earned about $ 5.9 million from January 2015 to May 2016, according to the president-elect’s financial disclosure documents.

The program starts up again Jan. 2 following a two-year hiatus. It will be hosted by actor and former Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger, who compared Trump’s situation to his own status as an actor and a governor, defended the president-elect, saying at a press conference that it’s up to Trump how much he wants to participate.

“It’s no different than when I … became governor. My credit starring in ‘Terminator’ still stayed the same and I continued getting royalties and all that stuff,” he said, according to Us Weekly.

Gingrich said Friday that it was “weird” Trump wanted to do both jobs. “He is going to be the executive producer of the American government and a huge TV show called ‘Leading the World,’” Gingrich added, suggesting that Trump turn over his producer role to his children.

“The Apprentice” series hasn’t always been kind to Trump.

Earlier this year, former staffers and participants on the show came forward with accusations of inappropriate, crude and sexist behavior by Trump during filming.

Since February, a network of self-titled “fantasy” news sites has been posting articles claiming A-list celebrities are moving to far-flung cities and small towns across the U.S. and other parts of the world.

Each of these sites — which look nearly identical — declare all or most of their content to be “satire or pure fantasy.” But still, the articles have a tendency to spread across social media, sparking manyreallocalnews stories to debunkrumors of some major celebrity moving to the area.

To read a handful of these stories in succession is to realize you are being duped. Many of the celebrities claim to have tired of “the LA lifestyle” and want to cast the city glamour aside for a life among “real, genuine people” in the articles, which are published with similar, if not identical, wording that praises each town.

In other versions, celebrities simply happened upon the town and fell in love with it — a tempting fiction. It’s not so unreasonable to think a public figure would also recognize your hometown’s charm, although some on social media share the articles to mock the celebrity’s choice.

Maybe, one day, Angelina Jolie or Justin Timberlake will tire of city life and relocate to Montana. But if that news is published on any of the sites mentioned above, it’s probably not true.

History and genealogy geeks are delighted with the TLC announcement that its popular celebrity roots series, Who Do You Think You Are? (WDYTYA), will be back for its seventh season starting on July 26th. Stepping into the ancestral spotlight this time are Tom Bergeron, Bryan Cranston, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Alfre Woodard. And happily for millions of Harry Potter fans, an episode of the original U.K. series focusing on J.K. Rowling will also be adapted and incorporated into the lineup.

In recent years, seasons of assorted genealogy TV shows have been dovetailing with each other, allowing viewers to wallow in months of seamless family history programming, so it was reasonable to assume that the PBS celebrity heritage series, Finding Your Roots, would launch its next season on the heels of WDYTYA. Indeed, it was slated to begin in September, but that’s now up in the air.

Due to controversy stemming from an episode featuring Ben Affleck, PBS conducted an internal investigation and as a result, decided to put the next season on hold until certain measures are implemented, including employing “an additional researcher/fact-checker” and “an independent genealogist to review all versions of program episodes for factual accuracy.”

So when will the next season air? On the one hand, even if the concerns of PBS ombudsman, Michael Getler, regarding the Freedom Rider tale of Affleck’s mother don’t trigger additional investigation, the volume and diversity of this group of celebrities mean that the selected fact-checker and genealogist have some heavy lifting ahead of them, so that would seem to suggest that the next season will be considerably delayed. On the other hand, Getler also summarized viewer reaction as leaning against suspension: “The mail was heavy and reflected different views but most of those who wrote to me expressed backing for the program and opposed postponing scheduling of the third season.”

In all likelihood, then, we can probably expect an interlude between the next seasons of Who Do You Think You Are? and Finding Your Roots, and the duration of that lull will hinge largely on how PBS chooses to balance and accommodate the sometimes competing goals of content accuracy and viewer demand.

Few people come away clean in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” a scathing satire that takes down Hollywood blockbusters, entitled actors, celebrity culture, entertainment journalism, critics and the entirety of social media with gleeful abandon. There are jokes about Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Meg Ryan that leave bruises. A heavy Oscar favorite since it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August, and this year’s closing night selection for the New York Film Festival, “Birdman” sets fire to so many bridges that it’s a surprise Dylan McKay isn’t the screenwriter. (In fact, Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo are the four credited writers.)

The existential tone of “Birdman” extended to the all-star cast during the film’s post-screening press conference on Saturday afternoon at the New York Film Festival. Amid shutter clicks and Instagram uploads, Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Zach Galifiankis grappled with the notion of being celebrities in 2014.

“Being a celebrity is shit,” Galifianakis said when asked about blurring the lines between performance and reality for the film. “It’s dumb. I’m not interested in it. I like to be an actor and that’s it. The blurred lines are, I think, man-made. I think celebrity is a man-made thing. It’s not innate in us. We have people telling us we should pay attention to these people for the wrong reasons — their personal lives and that stuff.”

Galifianakis said the cast of “Birdman” — which also includes Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Amy Ryan and Andrea Riseborough — held views similar to his own, before making special mention of his dislike for “picture taking” (an ironic comment considering the audience was busy capturing photos of Galifianakis during his response).

“I’m just being honest,” Galifianakis said. “I would rather do my work and go home and watch Lifetime or something.”

“I think everybody is kind of a celebrity now. Anybody can be anything,” Keaton added. The 63-year-old stars as Riggan Thomson in “Birdman,” a washed-up actor who became famous for playing a superhero and now hopes to save his career by putting on a Broadway production of Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” (Keaton, a former Batman, has downplayed the surface similarities between Thomson and himself. “I related less to him than almost every other character I’ve played, in terms of the desperation,” he told Lane Brown at New York Magazine.)

“While [the public is] enamored by it, I guess, and buy magazines, I don’t think [celebrity] is a big deal anymore,” Keaton continued during the press conference. “I think everybody is kind of their own celebrity in their own head, and they kind of are. We’re living in this really weird world where people are everywhere. They’re omnipresent.”

When they weren’t playing on the green, celebs had a chance to visit the GBK-produced gift lounge in support of The Lopez Foundation, which helps underprivileged children, adults and military families. It also raises awareness about kidney disease and organ donation.

The low-key lounge included lots of items including apparel, fitness, skincare and gourmet edibles.

Men’s retailer Alandales gifted golf shirts and gift certificates to its in-store hair salon, among other items. Luxury dress shirt company Made-of-Stone showcased dress shirts adorned with precious and semiprecious stones such as sapphires and rubies. Guests received gift certificates for amethyst cuff links. On the casual side, Margaritaville Apparel handed out beach bags filled with their goodies including polo shirts, t-shirts and baseball caps.

For fans of “The Happiness Project” and “The Year of Living Biblically” comes a pointed look at our fascination with celebrities, as one woman strives to remake herself in the image of her favorite stars. What woman hasn’t seen pictures of Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Beyonce and wished she had their clothes, their abs, their seemingly flawless lives? For Rachel Bertsche, these celebrities are the epitome of perfection–self-assured and effortlessly cool. Yet lately, between juggling her career, her marriage, and her dream of becoming a mother, Bertsche feels anything but put together. In “Jennifer, Gwyneth & Me, ” Bertsche embarks on a quest to emulate her Hollywood role models–while sticking to a budget–to see if they really hold the keys to happiness. While trying to unlock the stars’ secrets, from Sarah Jessica Parker’s wardrobe to Julia Roberts’s sense of calm to–maybe one day–Jessica Alba’s chic pregnancy, Bertsche learns valuable lessons. A toned body doesn’t come easy or cheap, avoiding social media can do wonders for your peace of mind, and confidence is the key accessory for pulling off any outfit. But can she immerse herself in the A-list lifestyle and still stay true to herself? And will her pursuit of perfection really lead to happiness? Praise for Rachel Bertsche’s “MWF Seeking BFF” “Written with verve, insight, and humor . . . Bertsche writes cleverly, but not glibly, about the challenges young women face today.”–“Chicago Tribune” ” A] charming, funny chronicle.”–“People”
